I wear slippers and sandals most of the time even when I go to work, so no shoelaces. Only once in a blue moon particularly when my boss is around will I put on a pair of sport shoes I buy somewhere at only around $4.5. Look I am a hypocrite. :DD
I found a Windsor knot a better test any way.

A Windsor knot is a devilish knot to tie only experts use it.

Only those who can prove they know how to tie their shoelaces are granted access.

Dang i use Velcro shoes.

After many travels to Japan and Korea, where people commonly take off and put on their shoes several times each day -- often with a line (queue) of people standing behind, waiting -- I've switched to loafers. I haven't tied shoelaces in years.

A Windsor knot I can do in my sleep. But on shoes ?! :eek:

This is one of the reasons I'm glad that I'm not a man :) But I like wearing scarves. And there are days when I'd like to wear a headscarf because I like them when they are colourful and stylishly tied. But I guess that would cause very serious problems in my community...:nb)

Head scarf's are way out of fashion in the UK, you could wear a fedora that would make you look very mysterious.

Here is a thought, the saying a mans home is his castle is no longer true, due to equality and mans inability to get a word in edge ways, it should be a woman's home is her castle.

Indeed that should be the case! And while a man is the head of the household, a woman is the neck that turns the head as she wishes :p

Can't be. Studies of our migration over the globe show that women are far more migrating than men. Would be rather inconvenient with a whole castle in their backpacks.

As long as the woman does the dishes the washing the vacuuming and the decorating she can turn my head any time:biggrin:

I wondered where all the women have gone.

Funny. As I've thought about castles ... Our continent is the only one where you can find castles and palaces every few kilometres from Scotland to Sicily from Portugal to Austria. Never viewed it this way.

I think if you can click "Pin to taskbar" somewhere in the start screen.

What I've always asked myself is:
How can we still believe in the fairytale of continuous economic growth more than 100 years after Weierstrass?

What is the relation between the two? Is there a Kasperle involved?

For a while there, I thought it said cow. And remembered how once a friend said something similar and when he failed to tame it I (we) ended being pursued by the angry cow. I could feel the floor shaking bellow my feet as I ran to escape from it. Those things are heavy and make the floor shake when they chase after you.



Never again.

The system Earth (neglecting the sun but even with it) is a compact subset of a real vector space of admittedly very high dimension and growth a real valued continuous function on it. At least it could be modeled that way.
